Prince William is second in line to the British throne, just after his father Prince Charles. In the last few years, William has taken his royal responsibilities seriously, becoming a full-time royal and leaving the Air Ambulance Service in July 2017 in order to focus on his royal duties.

Burrell became part of Princess Diana’s household in 1987, after leaving the Queen’s service as a footman, and was involved in much of the day-to-day care of the young Princes.
He reveals: “One day when William is king, the first thing he’ll do is restore his mother’s titles.”
Diana’s title of Her Royal Highness was bestowed on her when she married Prince Charles in 1981.
